The story behind Markou
Retsina is a Greek white wine defined by a small addition of pine resin during fermentation, a practice tied to sealing and preserving wine in pine barrels across Greece for centuries. The result is a dry, lightly textured white with a distinct resin note over citrus and orchard fruit. It is traditionally served cold in a small tumbler alongside mezze and grilled food.
We keep Markou Retsina in the Greece section here in Commack, one of the small labels we carry in limited quantity. If you have wanted to try retsina or restock a favorite, this is the bottle to start with.
